Cons / things to consider
-
Size: full-size — not ideal for deep concealment compared with compact models (e.g., G19).
-
Holster/part compatibility: some older Gen-3/4 holsters or parts may not fit perfectly (Gen-5 frame differences).
-
Some shooters prefer Gen-4 finger grooves or different trigger feel — preference is subjective.
Typical price range (market examples)
Prices vary by dealer, country, and configuration (FS, MOS, optics-ready). Typical U.S. retail listings in recent years have ranged roughly $500–$625 new depending on features and vendor; used examples run lower. (Check local dealers for exact current pricing and availability).
-
Shooters who want a reliable full-size 9mm for range, home defense, or duty use.
-

If you want easier concealability, consider a compact model (G19) instead.
